Letter: Thanks for Painting the Town!

Thank you to everyone that supported and participated in the Townie Association’s first campaign "Paint the Town: Red, White, & Blue" Thank you to all that cheered us on during the Parade! It was really exciting and we hope do it again next year.

Charlestown looked very festive and patriotic for the parade. The town was all American from its stores to the houses that decorated and the balloons along the parade route. What a wonderful atmosphere it was! What was even more amazing was to see people take pride in their town by donating their time to help make the parade route festive. The people of Charlestown truly painted the Town: Red, White, & Blue! Thank You!
